Best Time to Camp at Ward Mtn. Campground (Murray Summit)
Experience the dramatic temperature swings that make high-altitude camping an adventure at Ward Mountain. Summer days warm the sagebrush-scented air, perfect for trail exploration, before giving way to crisp, star-filled nights that call for cozy campfires and warm sleeping bags. Spring and fall visitors should come prepared for Mother Nature's surprises – at 7,400 feet, morning frost can dust your tent like powdered sugar, and unexpected snow flurries may transform the landscape into a temporary winter wonderland, adding an element of excitement to shoulder-season camping.
Summer has hot days but cool nights; trails accessible and campground busy in season.
Reviews: spring and fall highly recommended for cooler temps and fewer bugs.
Spring recommended for cooler temps and fewer bugs; trails good in shoulder season.
Winter brings freezing temps and snow; limited access and not prime for typical camping.
